@Jatheish Stop ignoring your community you spineless coward, come and reply to the oh so many topics about issues while u keep pushing updates nobody asks for, you are losing players by the thousands now daily, u gonna quit this project like you guys abandoned most of them and let mods deal with your crapcode? Better start acting like a man or I will come and find you in your shitty London.

Seems the last patch was almost the last nail in the Atlas coffin, one more big playerbase drop and they are able to shut down the official servers like they want to and stop spending the money they stole from so many players.

I haven't played since I posted this topic here and ever since trying to convince Steam to refund the damn thing and annoying as many Atlas personnel as I can without annoying myself. Read the latest patchnotes, can't see any imorovement on the side of listening to their peeps yet, even saw that they added extra costs to building stone structures with metal and organic paste, another slap in the face that is. Still no bugfixes for the stuff people really are struggling with. Oh and the FOY can now only be done when u are +90 years and not before, adding even more issues to the damn quest cuz now people can't do it when they don't have the age debuff (even if it's only 50% left).

Not even a moderator here who can point this out to the one who has to read it?

Bump cuz still no official reply what so ever and I'm not sure but there was "a letter to Jat" earlier on the forum that I no longer see here.

I'm not going to flame you, there is no reason to do that. What I would like to say is though that the result of the devs not looking on the forums and listening to our complaints, whether it be constructive or destructive criticism is the reason why people are attacking one another in these forums. You have the obvious Ark elitists who behave like they are godlike creatures and all the other players have no idea how to play, then u have the paid or non-paid trolls who just want to aggrevate everyone who complains about the current state of the game. And u have the people who say it's EA you knew what u were gonna get. Mix that in with the devs not responding or aknowledging any of the gamebreaking and joybreaking bugs in the game and u get flamewars like this. The Q+A livestream from last week is a good example where they said if u guys get a bug report to get 200 likes in the timespan of a week we "maybe" gonna look at that issue sooner then later. Yet you look at the bug report section and u see not a single topic coming close to such an amount of upvotes yet. The one bugreport going about PVE sinking ships u had people complaining about the thing still not being fixed and explained what is still being abused like ladders and just dropping weight on it in masses still sinks ships in PVE. Jat answered with something in the sorts of "THEORETICALLY it can be fixed". And that reply was from last friday if I'm not mistaken, have u seen them talk anywhere about them gonna tackle the weight bug anytime soon? Not me. That is why people are attacking eachother, bug reports don't matter to the devs, topics about real issues don't matter to the devs, the only thinig Jat replies to in twitter are people who post videos or pictures of how nice a boat they made or something funny that happened in the game while he should be at least aknowledging or addressing the many negative reports about gamebreaking bugs in the game than trying ot promote it even more.

Still worth a shot though, I wonder how hard it is for them to just aknowledge that there are issues that won't solve themselves by ignoring them that need to be taken care of to make this game enjoyable rather than enchorable.

I've messaged Jeremy Stieglitz on Twitter with a link to this topic, since Jat himself doesn't want to see the link or even click on it, cuz it's not positive vibes he can respond too. Let's see what happens.

They sure don't but let's give em some slack until Monday for once, but don't get your hopes up.

Tried that twice, they just don't want to answer anymore questions I might have regarding a refund of Atlas but I keep replying to the ticket hoping one guy azt support refers me to the right person.

Can't refund due to their glorious launch, if u know how to please tell me and you won't see me here no more.

Aight so taht's what it was then, people placing these on their boat when they were in the right area, this no longer works either since u can not put them on boats no more.

I knew nothing about breeding so yea bread got my attention. From the seeds part I have read people are able to grow seeds from different climates or areas if they would craft the soil boxes from the wood that comes from that specific area u wanna plant a seed from. Can't confirm but worth a shot I guess.

I suggest you go talk with the guy who bakes bread in penguins

Well, if it's hot you are lucky just shove a loaf in a penguin and hope for a bread to pop out!

Sigh ... go learn some physics boy!

It's funny how u mention that exact outfit to be for solo players yet all big companies rushing FoY atm are doing it in that "outfit". Much endgame wow!

They probably "balanced" those things (elephant rhino) because they were unable to find a way to make them add their real weight to boats, people would abuse this by storing elephants or rhinos in boats to get much more materials on a boat than they should be carrying. Same goes for the weight sinking of ships. Rather than making it impossible for a player to carry more weight than they should by dropping it all on the floor and picking it up by E you can over encumber yourself AND still move your character. Their fix is make people hover over achored shipdecks, unable to get off and having to die, whilst the weight thing wasn't fixed cuz people still abuse it by haning from ladders or spamming a boat with materials cuz they can still overencumber themselves. Now you say balancing is ezpz for them cuz they have to just change some numbers. I'm not gonna dig into which patch came out with what new bug, but it wouldn't surprise me if we had another doors not working glitch after a "simple" balancing patch. Yet again priorities and the sheer lack of insight in coding and knowledge to properly find a solution not a workaround that is bringing more frustration to the playerbase.

So this thing you did in 15 minutes which was easy cuz mobs didn't attack you that just got implemented and is basically harder to get to from a server point of view than a gamechallenge cuz what did you do? Run naked a couple of times until u reached the shiny sparkles, hit E, died and yaaay I did it. Know that his is mid-endgame content you are playing which they have been praising and patching so much lately rather than fixing their servers, their entirely retarded AI and so many things people are daily complaining about on these boards since launch. Do you feel any satisfaction from completing that FoY quest? Do the Powerstones give u the same rewarding feeling? Do you also think that it was a bad idea to implement it the way they implemented it, especially it being everyone rushing for that specific place where only 150 people can be at once. Why implement this thing while there are so many techinical difficulties still in the game that might prevent you from reaching the island in the first place, not to mention the aging debuff u get as a late christmas present from the devs as well until u go there.

In most early access games devs made sure the game mechanics and server worked properly before balancing stuff out like in this case material gathering tames. How can we enjoy any balancing when so many things are broken in the game? Priorities, get them striaght then use the Early Access reply.

Indeed if they were actually playing it like everyone else on official servers they would know that their additions aren't going to improve the way people experience this game in most cases. Not if those additions are half baked solutions or implementations of half a feature.

I wish these devs had the same mentality as the flappy bird dev had, he asked for his own game to be deleted from the appstores.

Go get that Rejuvenation buff/Powerstone you nerfed old naked pirate!

Does the pure keratinoid that u receive when u scrap something not count as another type?
